SAN  GABRIEL,  October  27,  1892. 

To  the  Board  of  State  Viticultural  Commissioners,  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN:  On  the  morning  of  the  13th  instant  appeared  an  article 
in  the  Los  Angeles  "  Times,"  announcing  that  the  dreaded  vine  malady, 
known  as  the  "Anaheim  disease,"  had  again  appeared  in  the  section 
from  which  it  derives  its  name,  after  having  apparently  left  it  for  a 
number  of  years,  attributing  its  appearance  at  this  time  to  planting  of 
vines  in  soil  heretofore  set  out  in  vines  destroyed  by  the  malady,  and 
claiming  that  the  contagious  germs  remained  dormant  in  the  soil  until 
material  was  furnished  them  to  prey  on.  It  will  be  remembered  that 
this  peculiar  disease,  which  has  played  such  sad  havoc  with  one  of  the 
most  prominent  industries  of  Southern  California,  is  said  to  have  orig- 
inated some  five  years  ago  in  that  part  of  Los  Angeles  County  which 
now  constitutes  Orange  County,  and  has  destroyed  since  then,  almost 
completely,  thousands  of  acres  of  vineyards  in  that  and  adjacent  terri- 
tory, leaving  them  bleak  and  desolate.  After  the  vineyards  had  been 
cleared,  it  was  determined  as  an  experiment  by  a  few  former  owners  of 
vineyards  to  replant  this  land  again  with  grapevines,  obtaining  their 
cuttings  from  districts  where  the  disease  had  not  heretofore  been 
observed.  Those  who  had  the  courage  to  make  the  attempt,  at  the  end 
of  the  first  year  found  apparent  success  crowning  their  efforts,  for  the 
young  vines  had  passed  through  the  trying  time  general  to  all  plants, 
making  a  good  growth,  vigorous  in  appearance,  and  evidently  free  from 
all  disease.  Others,  emboldened  by  the  success  of  their  neighbors,  set 
out  other  small  vineyards,  and  the  prospects  were  again  favorable  for 
the  establishment  of  vineyards  in  this  and  other  districts. 

It  was  but  recently  I  was  informed,  upon  inquiry,  that  the  young 
vineyards  planted  in  Orange  County  were  thriving.  I  was  therefore 
greatly  surprised  to  read  the  article  announcing  the  reappearance  of  the 
disease  in  that  section.  Knowing  that  a  number  of  parties  in  Orange 
and  Los  Angeles  Counties,  owing  to  the  apparent  departure  of  the 
disease,  intended  to  plant  vines  largely  this  coming  year,  I  determined 
to  investigate  the  reports,  and  if  I  found  the  disease  again  appearing  in 
a  locality  where  it  was  reasonable  to  believe  it  had  become  extinct,  it 
would  be  my  duty  to  inform  all  those  interested  of  this  fact. 

On  the  morning  of  the  25th  instant  I  left  for  Santa  Ana,  accompanied 
by  Prof.  Ethelbert  Dowlen,  viticultural  expert,  whom  I  had  requested 
to  go  with  me  on  my  tour  of  inspection.  At  Santa  Ana  we  were  met 
by  Mr.  E.  S.  Wallace,  a  resident  of  that  city,  and  author  of  the  above- 
mentioned  newspaper  article,  together  with  Prof.  Newton  B.  Pierce, 
Government  Pathologist.  This  latter  gentleman  is  at  present  located 


iii  Santa  Ana,  and  kindly  accepted  an  invitation  to  join  us.  Ten  vine- 
yards were  visited  during  the  day,  four  of  which  were  entirely  free  at 
that  time  from  any  sign  of  disease,  while  six  showed  the  apparent 
baneful  influence  of  the  destroyer  in  a  greater  or  less  degree.  In  going 
to  Santa  Ana,  my  object  was  to  inspect  those  vineyards  which  had  been 
reputed  to  be  contaminated  with  the  malady,  and  not  so  much  to  inspect 
vineyards  free  from  disease;  therefore,  while  we  saw  evidences  of 
disease  in  six  out  of  ten  inspected,  it  is  not  fair  to  assume  that  such  a 
large  proportion  of  all  the  vine-producing  areas  in  that  district  are  thus 
affected. 

The  first  vineyard  visited  is  located  a  short  distance  from  the  town  of 
Orange.  There  are  about  10  acres  of  vines  in  this  place  planted  on 
coarse,  gravelly  soil,  but  from  the  appearance  of  plants  there  must  be 
sufficient  loam  underneath  to  force  the  growth  to  a  remarkable  degree. 
Considering  that  these  vines  are  only  six  months  old,  runners  measuring 
from  6  to  10  feet  in  length  are  rather  surprising  for  such  young  plants. 
A  number  of  these  vines  also  showed  small  bunches  of  grapes.  No 
disease  was  visible  here. 

The  next  vineyard  was  a  field  of  10  acres  belonging  to  Mrs.  Blaisdell. 
This  property  is  about  a  mile  from  the  first  vineyard  visited.  Here  the 
first  evidence  of  the  disease  was  detected,  and  especially  was  it  pro- 
nounced upon  a  ridge  running  through  a  portion  of  this  field.  The  soil 
there  was  evidently  much  poorer  in  quality  than  that  surrounding  it. 
On  inquiry  we  ascertained  that  the  cuttings  in  this  vineyard  had  been 
set  out  on  land  which  had  formerly  borne  vines  killed  by  the  disease. 
These  cuttings  were  said  to  have  been  brought  from  Elsinore,  in  Febru- 
ary, 1892,  at  which  time  they  were  thought  to  have  been  entirely  free 
from  disease. 

The  next  vineyard  visited  was  located  on  the  Tustin  branch  of  the 
Southern  Pacific  Company,  and  is  the  property  of  Mr.  McPherson.  This 
was  found  free  from  disease.  The  soil  is  gravelly,  with  dark,  heavy 
loam.  Cuttings  were  said  to  have  been  set  out  in  the  spring  of  1890, 
and  up  to  the  present  time  have  retained  their  full  vigor.  The  next 
vineyard  inspected  is  on  the  Hughes  ranch.  The  soil  here  is  gravelly, 
with  light,  sandy  loam,  and  the  vineyard  is  free  from  disease.  Just 
across  the  road  from  the  former  is  another  small  vineyard,  in  which  the 
vines  are  young,  healthy,  and  vigorous.  Just  back  of  this  vineyard  is 
the  property  of  Mr.  Sitton;  this  is  also  free  from  disease. 

The  sixth  vineyard  examined  contained  vines  from  six  months  to  two 
years  old,  in  the  larger  portions  of  which  evidences  of  the  disease  were 
discovered.  Here  we  observed  that  the  young  vines  were  not  infected 
as  much  as  the  older  ones. 

The  seventh  vineyard  was  the  property  of  C.  B.  Pulver.  Here  the 
disease  was  more  marked  than  upon  any  other  vines  heretofore  exam- 
ined. The  cuttings  were  obtained  from  Etiwanda,  and  were  supposed 
to  have  been  free  from  any  infectious  disease.  They  were  set  out  in  the 
spring  of  1891. 

The  eighth  vineyard  visited  adjoins  the  Santa  Ana  cemetery.  The 
cuttings  from  which  this  vineyard  were  planted  were  also  brought  from 
Etiwanda,  in  the  spring  of  1890,  and  were  believed  to  have  been  free  from 
disease.  Through  this  vineyard,  as  in  the  one  already  mentioned,  a  slight 
elevation  of  the  soil  runs  from  north  to  south.  The  vines  on  this  show 
the  signs  of  the  disease  more  marked  than  those  surrounding  it  on 


lower  ground.  When  mentioning  this  to  the  owner,  he  explained  that 
in  his  opinion  the  lack  of  vigor  in  these  vines  waft  due  to  the  fact  that 
they  had  not  perhaps  received  as  much  irrigation  as  the  neighboring 
ones.  This  vineyard  was  said  to  have  borne  a  good  crop.  A  number 
of  grapes  which  were  picked  from  the  vines,  however,  had  the  unmis- 
takable flavor  so  common  with  fruit  plucked  from  vines  afflicted  with 
the  Anaheim  disease. 

The  ninth  vineyard  is  the  property  of  Fred.  Rohrs.  The  cuttings 
also  came  from  Etiwanda,  in  the  spring  of  1890.  Like  all  other  cuttings 
from  that  neighborhood,  they  were  supposed  to  have  been  free  from  all 
disease,  but  to-day  the  vineyard  shows  unmistakable  signs  of  the 
malady. 

The  last  vineyard  inspected  is  the  property  of  Mr.  Nisson.  It  con- 
tains only  about  2  acres.  The  cuttings  with  which  this  small  tract 
was  pi-anted,  Mr.  Nisson  informed  us,  were  obtained  from  San  Jose,  in 
the  year  1891.  This  vineyard,  like  some  of  the  others,  was  planted 
where  diseased  vines  were  taken  up  in  the  winter  of  1888-89.  Professor 
Pierce,  who  has  made  this  particular  tract  one  of  study,  wrote  to  San 
Jose,  where  the  cuttings  were  obtained,  to  ascertain  whether  any  disease 
has  made  its  appearance  there.  He  was  informed  that  no  disease  of  the 
character  described  had  shown  itself  in  that  valley,  and  to  make  the 
statement  positive  he  was  sent  leaves  from  the  identical  vines  which  fur- 
nished cuttings  for  Mr.  Nisson's  vineyard.  The  leaves  were  perfectly 
green,  being  free  from  that  spotted  character  so  peculiar  to  the  disease. 

In  four  of  the  six  infected  vineyards  inspected,  it  will  be  noticed  that 
the  cuttings  in  each  were  obtained  in  Etiwanda,  in  San  Bernardino 
County,  a  district  wrhich,  at  the  time  of  securing  these  cuttings,  was 
free  from  disease,  but  which  in  the  past  eight  months  is  said  to  have 
developed  it.  Therefore,  if  such  is  true,  it  cannot  be  positively  stated 
that  the  disease  was  not  in  the  cuttings  but  lurking  in  the  soil,  while  in 
the  case  of  Mr.  Nisson,  we  have  positive  evidence  that  the  grape  cut- 
tings which  he  secured  from  San  Jose  came  from  healthy  stock.  Here 
apparently  is  a  case  where  the  "  impregnated  ground  "  theory  may  hold 
good.  The  vineyard  of  Mrs.  Blaisdell  contains  cuttings  from  Elsinore. 
In  this  district,  I  have  been  lately  told,  exists  a  disease  almost  identical 
in  its  most  visible  features  with  the  Anaheim  disease,  differing  from  that, 
however,  in  this  essential — that  the  plant  does  not  die  from  it. 

I  might  add  a  curious  fact  which  has  come  under  my  personal  obser- 
vation in  the  Sunny  Slope  vineyards  located  in  the  San  Gabriel  Valley. 
During  the  height  of  the  disease  in  this  vineyard  a  large  plot  of  Mataro 
vines  had  every  appearance,  as  far  as  outward  signs  would  indicate,  of 
a  very  severe  attack  of  the  Anaheim  disease,  so  much  so  that  it  was  con- 
sidered lost;  but,  contrary  to  all  expectations,  the  following  year  the 
vines  made  some  newr  growth,  of  better  color  than  usually  made  by  dis- 
eased vines.  This  continued  to  increase  as  the  season  advanced.  1 
have  watched  this  particular  plot,  as  I  have  been  in  a  position  to  do  so, 
with  a  great  deal  of  interest,  and  can  state  that  to-day  there  is  not  a 
healthier  lot  of  vines  of  that  variety  in  the  valley.  The  fruit  this  year 
was  perfect  in  shape,  full-grown,  and  sweet,  and  a  good  crop  was  pro- 
duced. None  of  the  so-called  patent  remedies  of  any  kind  were  used 
to  bring  this  result  about;  only  good  cultivation  and  irrigation  was 
given,  and  the  balance  was  accomplished  by  nature.  This  is  a  very 
rare  case;  in  fact  it  is  the  only  one  known  to  me  where  the  disease  acted 


—  10  — 

in  this  most  peculiar  way.     The  usual  result  to  an  attacked  vine  was 
death. 

It  therefore  seems  to  me,  through  the  inspection  made,  that  the  attack 
being  of  such  recent  date,  it  will  be  impossible  at  this  time  to  positively 
state  that  the  malady  which  we  diagnosed  as  the  Anaheim  disease  is 
such  or  something  very  similar  in  appearance  to  it;  however,  disease  is 
apparent  there,  but  whether  it  is  the  fatal  Anaheim  disease  is  a  ques- 
tion which  time  alone  can  answer.  All  vineyards  inspected  were  planted 
in  Muscat  cuttings. 

In  the  valley  in  which  I  reside — the  San  Gabriel  Valley — the  fatal 
Anaheim  disease  to  all  appearances  has  ceased  its  virulence,  attacking 
very  few  vines  this  year  which  have  hitherto  been  free  from  it,  but  in 
the  face  of  the  former  symptoms  observed  in  t*he  birthplace  of  the  dis- 
ease, as  above  set  forth,  it  would  be  well  for  those  intending  to  set  out 
large  bodies  of  vines  to  go  slowly  for  the  next  year,  and  await  develop- 
ments in  the  infected  districts,  as  it  is  a  question  whether  the  disease  has 
run  its  final  course. 

Before  closing,  I  desire  to  express  my  thanks  to  Professor  Dowlen, 
Mr.  Wallace,  and  Professor  Pierce  for  valuable  information  received  and 
courtesies  extended. 

Respectfully  submitted.

REPORT  OF  I.  DE  EARTH  SHORE,

SAN  GABRIEL,  CAL.,  October  12,  1892. 

To  the  Board  of  State  Viticultural  Commissioners: 

GENTLEMEN:  I  herewith  submit  report  of  Prof.  Ethelbert  Dowlen  on 
the  condition  of  the  vines  of  San  Diego  County. 

j.  DEBARTH  SHORE, 

Commissioner  for  the  State  at  Large. 


SAN  GABRIEL,  CAL.,  October  12,  1892. 

Hon.  J.  DEBARTH  SHORE,  Commissioner  for  the  State  at  Large: 

SIR:  Herewith  I  beg  leave  to  hand  my  report  on  the  vineyards  of 
San  Diego  County,  being  the  result  of  a  tour  of  inspection  taken  pursu- 
ant to  your  instructions. 

The  "Pacific  Wine  and  Spirit  Review"  of  September  20,  1892,  con- 
tained a  paragraph  to  the  effect  that  the  "Anaheim  disease"  had  appeared 
in  an  old  vineyard  at  Escondido.  As  this  was  a  district  not  known 
hitherto  as  being  affected  by  the  "Anaheim  disease,"  a  journey  was  at 
once  made  to  inquire  into  the  condition  of  the  vineyards  there,  as  well 
as  in  other  parts  of  San  Diego  County. 

The  vineyard  referred  to  in  the  above-mentioned  paragraph  was  found 
to  be  not  in  the  Escondido  Valley  proper,  but  in  a  canon  running  oft' 
from  it,  and  some  three  or  four  miles  from  the  town  of  Escondido.  The 
soil  is  rich  and  deep,  with  abundant  moisture,  but  not  too  much.  The 
vines  are  of  several  varieties — Mission  Muscat,  and  Black  Morocco 
forming  the  chief  part.  The  crop  was  being  gathered  for  shipment  East. 
In  this  vineyard  were  a  number  of  vines  scattered  about  which  showed 
evident  signs  of  "Anaheim  disease."  The  affected  vines  were  mostly 
amongst  the  Mission  vines,  and  only  a  few  cases  were  seen  amongst  the 
Muscats.  The  disease  had  made  its  first  appearance  only  some  eight 
weeks  previous  to  the  visit,  and  had  attacked  some  of  the  strongest  of 
the  vines,  leaving  those  on  the  lighter  and  poorer  part  of  the  vineyard 
unaffected.  As  this  is  an  entirely  new  outbreak,  it  would  be  interest- 
ing to  know  whether  the  vines  will  follow  the  usual  course  and  eventu- 
ally die,  or  whether  they  will  recover,  as  they  have  done  elsewhere  in 
San  Diego  County.  Some  of  the  vines  were  suffering  from  sunstroke, 
and  some  were  affected  by  a  disease  of  the  leaf  which  has  a  great  resem- 
blance to  the  "Anaheim  disease,"  but  does  not  seem  to  extend  beyond 


—  12  — 

the  foliage.  Another  vineyard  close  by  was  also  found  to  be  slightly 
affected.  This  was  on  somewhat  higher  ground. 

At  Vista,  some  10  miles  distant  from  the  above  vineyards,  and  about 
14  miles  from  Escondido  town,  a  series  of  low  hills  and  small  valleys 
intervening,  the  Anaheim  disease  was  also  found.  The  vines  were  in 
good,  deep  soil,  and  generally  were  strong  and  healthy,  and  were  well 
supplied  with  natural  moisture.  The  varieties  were  Mission,  Mataro. 
Muscat,  Riesling,  Black  Hamburg,  and  Black  Morocco.  The  fruit  was 
all  used  for  wine  making.  Here  the  disease  was  of  older  standing, 
some  vines  having  been  affected  last  year.  Some  of  these  were  dead ; 
others  had  put  out  only  the  usual  stunted  growth.  In  this  vineyard 
the  disease  had  appeared  in  small  patches  rather  than  in  single  vines. 
The  greater  number  of  sick  vines  wrere  in  one  corner  of  the  vineyard, 
where  the  soil  was  more  adobe  than  anything  else.  The  owner  asserted 
that  he  had  vines  which  had  been  diseased,  but  which  had  quite  recov- 
ered. 

In  the  Escondido  Valley  proper  the  vineyards,  which  are  almost  all 
set  out  to  raisin  grapes,  were  found  to  be  in  excellent  condition.  Nothing 
wras  found  to  be  the  matter  with  the  vines,  except  that  in  a  few  spots  they 
showed  slightly  the  effects  of  want  of  moisture,  due  to  the  short  rain- 
fall of  last  winter.  Besides  this,  there  was  a  small  plot  of  Mataro 
vines  which  had  been  somewhat  badly  mildewed.  This  was  on  a  hill- 
side some  distance  away  from  most  of  the  vineyards.  Besides  this, 
no  other  sign  of  sickness  was  found,  The  vines  all  over  the  valley  had 
made  a  good  growth,  and  had  borne  a  fair  crop  of  fruit,  which  was  of 
excellent  quality.  Drying  was  still  going  on  at  all  the  vineyards,  the 
cool  season  having  delayed  this  operation. 

In  the  adjoining  districts  of  San  Marcos  and  Twin  Oaks  the  vines 
were  extremely  vigorous,  the  fruit  being  of  large  size  and  good  quality. 
No  Anaheim  disease  was  found  here,  nor  did  there  seem  to  be  any  other 
trouble  present. 

In  El  Cajon  Valley  the  vines  were  also  in  good  condition.  In  some 
places,  where  the  vines  had  not  been  irrigated,  they  showed  some  effects 
of  the  short  rainfall,  but  no  Anaheim  disease  was  found.  It  will  be 
remembered  that  it  was  in  this  valley  that  the  first  outbreak  of  Ana- 
heim disease  was  reported  in  1889.  A  special  visit  was  made  to  the 
two  vineyards  then  affected.  The  vines  are  now  perfectly  healthy,  and 
show  no  sign  of  sickness,  and  have  borne  good  crops  all  along.  This  is 
an  extremely  satisfactory  state  of  things. 

In  the  Sweetwater  Valley  the  vines  are  also  in  excellent  condition. 
As  in  other  places,  those  vines  on  lighter  and  poorer  soils  showed  the 
effects  of  want  of  water,  but  this  was  the  most  serious  thing  the  matter. 
Here  and  there  in  the  valley  there  were  patches  of  vines  having  their 
leaves  spotted  in  a  manner  very  similar  to  the  markings  produced  by 
the  Anaheim  disease;  but  that  these  vines  are  not  affected  by  the 
Anaheim  disease  is  evident  for  various  reasons.  The  markings  on  the 
leaf  are  not  the  same  as  those  brought  about  by  the  Anaheim  disease, 
though  they  are  much  like  them.  The  number  of  vines  affected  varies 
from  year  to  year;  sometimes  very  few  are  found,  sometimes  more, 
especially  in  a  dry  season.  The  vines  do  not  die,  nor  become  stunted, 
but  put  out  their  normal  growth,  and  bear  a  good  crop  every  year. 
Frequently  the  spotted  leaves  remain  on  the  vine  just  as  long  as  those 
not  so  affected.  The  fruit  is  not  affected  in  any  way,  either  in  quantity 


—  13  — 

or  quality.  The  canes  are  not  dwarfed,  but  make  a  normal  growth. 
They  do  not  die  back,  or  remain  unripened,  or  become  discolored,  but 
they  ripen  thoroughly,  and  remain  clean  and  bright.  Canes  were  taken 
from  vines  having  the  greatest  proportion  of  spotted  leaves,  and  examined 
under  the  microscope.  Their  wood  was  found  to  be  perfectly  healthy, 
being  bright  and  clear,  and  not  having  any  brown  spots,  or  streaks. 
The  pith  was  clear  and  sound,  and  the  tissues  were  well  supplied  with 
starch,  the  grains  of  which  color  easily  with  iodine,  and  were  of  the 
usual  size. 

Special  attention  was  given  to  these  vines,  as  it  would  be  quite  easy 
for  any  one  not  well  acquainted  with  the  Anaheim  disease  to  be  led  into 
error  by  the  appearance  of  the  foliage  only,  and  thus  create  needless 
alarm. 

Respectfully  submitted. 

ETHELBERT  DOWLEN. 

The  above  report  is  entirely  approved  and  respectfully  submitted  to 
the  honorable  the  Board  of  State  Viticultural  Commissioners. 

j.  DEBARTH  SHORB, 

Commissioner  for  the  State  at  Large.
